Let’s face it, in the battle of Good Vs.
Evil, good pretty much always wins. That’s in the movies of course, in real
life it’s not so black and white. But what if we pitted good against good, the
best of our superheroes against each other. Imagine Thor against Professor X, the Hulk
against Phoenix? Could a shape-shifting mutant be any match
for a man with super senses? Do you really think Wolverine would be any
match for Iron Man? Well, that’s what we’ll find out today
in his battle of ‘Good Vs. Good, the beginning of a terrible relationship’. First of all, as some of you superhero nerds
will know, the number of actual people that have been part of the Avengers or have been
called an X-man, or X-woman, is so large that if we were to virtually fight each and every
one of them against each other we would likely be here until the end of time. Since the 1960s the Avengers has included
close to 100 members, including the Guardians of the Galaxy that traveled back in time and
became honorary members. Comic Vine puts the number at 92, but we think
it’s more than that. There have been way more X-Men in the comic
books over the decades, too, so you do the math. For every character to fight every other character
once…well…we simply can’t do it. For them all to go at it at the same time
would be chaos. What we can do is choose what we might call
some of the most famous characters from the movies that have come out in the recent past. We all know these characters well, and we
know what they are capable of. If we told you we were going to do a virtual
face-off with She-Hulk and Yellowjacket most of you we expect wouldn’t even know what
powers each had, although you could make an educated guess with the former. Today we’ll make this fight an easy-to-handle
five against five. The characters we have picked are as follows: X-Men
Professor X. Wolverine
Phoenix Mystique
Iceman Avengers
Thor Iron Man
The Hulk Captain America
Black Widow We are sorry to leave out the foul-mouthed
anti-hero, Deadpool, but we just don’t think he would get picked for this team by any rational
person. So, who do we put in the first death match? Well, we guess we will save the most powerful
until last, which you could say would be professor Charles Xavier, aka, Professor X. It’s debatable who is the most powerful
Avenger, but we’ll go out on a limb and say from this list of five it’s Thor. Anything can happen in the comics, and has
done so over more than half a century, so we’ll go on the movies and the superpowers
and strengths each character has. Ok, on with the first match, Wolverine vs.
Iron Man. As they say in boxing, “Let's have a clean
fight, touch hands, back to your corners.” Ding, ding, round one. Wolverine comes rushing out mad as a dog in
heat with a case of violence-inducing rabies. He takes a swing at the rude half-man half-robot
with his adamantium-bone claws and Iron Man just takes off into the sky and shoots a few
holes in the self-healing flesh of the crazy wolf. It could go on like this for a long time,
so let’s look at each other’s capabilities separately. You might know Wolverine is a master tactician,
a great martial artist and he’s more than good with a sword and a gun. He has super-human strength, but it’s not
super, super-human. It’s said he can lift about 800 pounds. As you know, his skeleton consists of the
substance Adamantium, which is described by Marvel as a “rare, artificial, and a virtually
indestructible metal alloy.” Those claws of his can virtually rip through
anything, including Iron Man we expect. He has weaknesses, though, and those include
the fact his super heightened senses can produce sensory overload. That’s not good when you are facing a hail
of bullets, rockets and fire from something zipping around above you. There are also different types of Adamantium,
and some of them have before made Wolverine very sick. One more thing, he doesn’t like water. If we put those strengths against Iron’s
Mans one thing that immediately comes to mind is that for Iron Man’s own good he has to
fight at a distance. Wolverine’s claws are more powerful than
Vibranium, the stuff Captain America’s shield is made out of. As we said, we reckon he could penetrate Iron
Man’s suit. The thing is, Iron Man will just blast from
the sky and Wolverine will get hit. He’s been killed in the comic books many
times before, including when a robot melted the flesh of his body so fast it could not
regenerate. We just don’t see Iron Man losing this. 1-0 Avengers. Phoenix vs The Hulk
Phoenix, or Dark Phoenix when she’s a villain, used to be a human called Jean Grey. Some have said she is more powerful than Prof.
X, but we are not buying that baloney. Her, or its, powers are very remarkable. She can fly at supersonic speeds, lift thousands
of tons and has the powers of telepathy and telekinesis. That means she will know what the Hulk is
thinking and can move the things around him to hit him with. As much as we like the angry green man, we
really don’t think he is any match for this woman one-on-one. His bios tell us he is super strong and can
lift 100 tons, but that’s not thousands of tons is it. Yep, he is virtually indestructible, but if
this were a fight to the death you can be sure he would be the one pushing up daisies
in the end. Some people say the Hulk cannot be killed,
but he can, and as Phoenix has superhuman powers to mess with minds we wouldn’t be
surprised if she could change the Hulk back to human form. Avengers 1 X-Men 1. Mystique vs Captain America
We like to think of this match up as a bit more down to Earth. You’ve got Captain America, the man with
the shield who comes across as just a good ole American soldier boy. Then you’ve got Mystique, a girl who had
a rough upbringing and then came good when she started enjoying her shape-shifting routine. It’s a difficult match up this one, because
Mystique’s best gift is to change into another shape. She’s also got Regenerative Healing Power,
but not as good as The Hulk’s or Wolverine’s. She can be hurt. She is also super agile, but so is Captain
America. But, he is more enhanced than super-human,
so we don’t see him beating the likes of his compadres in the Avengers. He also has Regenerative Healing Power, likely
about as good as Mystique’s. But for this match up we just see Captain
America as having a bit more fire power, especially with that shield of his. Mystique’s greatest gift is not full-on
attack, and a death match is not her ideal place. She is a team player. Avengers 2-X-Men 1. Iceman Vs. Black Widow
The character known as Iceman doesn’t shy away from lauding over his own abilities,
once saying, “I've stood side by side with the toughest, most powerful heroes in the
known universe and always held my own.” But would he hold his own against the spider
with the wicked bite? The killer spy says there is no one who can
sneak up on her, and if they do, she is an excellent martial artist. She’s had the upper hand against Ant-Man
in a scrap, zapping him with her electric shock bite that is super powerful. She not only has those weapons, but countless
other guns and explosives as well as Batman-esque utility suits. But would this stop Iceman? Well, like Black Widow, he doesn’t have
superhuman strength, but what he does have is the ability to generate extreme cold. He can turn things to ice, but he can also
generate ice platforms beneath him as well as make himself into an icy giant if enough
water is around him to absorb. So, you have electricity vs water, and it’s
a hard call which would win. But as electricity travels through water we
expect that Black Widow can get under Iceman’s skin. 2-2. Professor X vs Thor
Now for the battle of the champions. Thor has so many abilities there are too many
to recount. He is almost indestructible and when has been
killed he’s been brought back to life by his godly father. He can summon lightning from the sky which
can be used for weapons or armor. He has his hammer and the energy of the heavens. He is a God! There is not much he cannot destroy with his
hammer once it has been charged with lightning. He’s basically a perfect fighting machine. So, how well would he do against an aging
man confined to a wheelchair? Well, this is no ordinary man. He’s the prof, the man in the big seat. He can get into people’s minds and control
them. He can read their thoughts. He can disappear using his Telepathic Cloak. He can put you to sleep and even mentally
paralyze you. He’s even got into the mind of another person
when he has been destroyed, thus becoming his enemy. If he doesn’t need to resort to that, maybe
he will just use a Psionic Blast to cause you considerable pain. He is the controller, and very much like a
God. How on Earth do you beat a man like this? Well, the answer is in the question, because
Thor is not Earthly. If anyone can beat Professor X it’s a God. It’s a hard call again, especially when
you see that Thor in the past has resisted mind control but also fallen victim to it. In one story Red Skull manages to steal Xavier’s
brain and use it to gain control of Thor’s mind. The question has been asked online numerous
times as to who would win this fight, and it seems most people think it’s 50/50. Could Thor hit Xavier before Xavier can get
control of his mind? Could Thor resist his remarkable mental strength? Could Thor summon something from the skies
to prevent him being paralyzed by the prof? Our opinion is that the professor would be
too much for Thor, and he would indeed get control of his mind and have Thor kill himself
with his own powers. He would turn his strength against him. In this match brains wins over brawn, even
if Thor does have lightning on his side. The final result is 3-2, to X-Men. As for the whole teams, well, this has been
played out in the comics in the past utilizing various characters and throughout history
there have been wins and losses for each side as well as draws. Votes have been cast online, and it seems
most people also have this as a draw, or rather about half the voters voted for one or the
other. As we said at the beginning, it’s also hard
to call because who from the hundreds of heroes make up the core teams? Many people have pointed out that the Avengers
do seem to have the strongest heroes overall, but then when you have Phoenix and Professor
X, well, that is some duo to contend with. So, we think we will ask you now, who would
win? Tell us your answer and why in the comments. Also, be sure to check out our other video
